An older medical term (originating sometime between the late 19th century and early 20th century) used to describe a person who has sexual intercourse with others of the same sex. The term has long been discarded by gay people as politically incorrect, due mostly to its connotation as a purely sexual and/or mental disorder. It is more politically correct nowadays to use the terms gay or LGBT (A catch-all term which includes transgendered people) as they connote both a sexual and romantic attraction to the opposite sex, as opposed to an uncontrollable compulsion to engage in specific sexual acts.
